Review forms

A Form is a part of the user interface of web or desktop application and controls within it which user interacts with. The program detects forms' boundaries using, for instance, interface redrawing or applications switching. For example, in order to send a parcel, a user fills in different order pages: enters the recipient data, selects the desired delivery date, enters payment data. After processing the log with recorded user actions, the program finds 3 forms.

After uploading logs to Timeline, it is recommended to check forms for task definition quality improvement. Forms contain screenshots with associated user actions in the application. Check forms to make sure that unnecessary information will not appear in task definitions.

You may want to transfer some screenshots into a separate form that are not related to a certain task and then exclude them from a task definition. Also, a form can include screenshots that should be associated it with a different task. Form editor allows to search for certain or similar events and move them between different forms within one application.

How to review forms

  1. Click Form editor on the project homepage. You will see the list of used applications and forms defined for them. Hover over any task or application and click to rename them.

How to move forms
